The Zimbabwe mission is in dire need of help. The country is located just above Africa and just below Zambia. The country is in severe trouble. With the economy all but collapsed, most of its citizens live in extreme poverty. There are extreme food shortages.
The Zimbabwe Mission project is trying to help those in need. Their focus is especially on the many orphans. They built and operate the Heather Chimhoga Orphan Care Center. They try to provide at least two nutritious meals per day for up to a thousand orphans and preschoolers.
A great majority of the children they serve also suffer from severe medical diseases such as AIDS. They have been able to get a full-time nurse who is able to help with many of the children's medical requirements. With various groups donating both medicine and medical help, the mortality rate of the children has decreased. However, they could still use more medical supplies.
They are now facing even tighter restraints with both policy and economic issues. Once items are donated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to receive the goods. They are trying to compensate by growing more local foods using on-site gardens. They have also found a particular tree, the moringa, to be especially high in things like protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, and calcium.
Each child must pay a required school fee. They are doing their best to make sure that this fee is paid for each child. A co-op is operated that makes the schools uniforms that the children must wear. They also work to supply school supplies, and to do renovations on buildings like the schools and libraries. They are drilling new wells to make sure clean, fresh water is always available. They are also teaching many local citizens trades for projects to produce personal income.
As with any country suffering severe poverty, they are having a hard time getting enough funds for the things they need. Even though they have several churches that provide them with much needed food and supplies, it is sometimes quite difficult to get the items to them. They are hindered in their ability to buy and ship much needed food like beans and rice.
Many schools are trying to help their schools by giving old computers and school furniture. They often will also do clothing and food drives to try to help. Some work hard to gather personal hygiene items that are always in short supply. Even with this help, they could still use more donated items.
Even with many people giving generously to the Zimbabwe Mission, difficulties still occur. The donated items must be shipped to them. Some of the crates used to ship the items by sea are quite expensive. They can cost at least 10 thousand dollars each. Too often, donated items are in storage crates, because the funds are not readily available to ship them. Many caregivers give lovingly of their time to give to them. They need the help of all of us. We should be willing to give to those who are less fortunate than us.
